hello
I think about roller derby alot. I ran for captain and lost. Then I ran for co-captain and lost again. It upsets me because I know I'd be a great captain. At the same time it upsets me too, that no one else thought that. That or not enough people thought I would do good. Or then again, it may be more of a popularity contest. Who knows. I have a team now and for that I'm ecstatic. I just wish we could get the ball rolling a little faster. There is soo much to accomplish and not enough time to do it.
My first bout is Saturday, January 27th. I'm nervous as fuck. I can't understand why we couldn't just find a place with wood floors to host us. We practice on wood and to me that means we should play on wood. Instead we have to bout on sportcourt and concrete. Which involves us all buying 2 new sets of wheels for each floor type. And only having a few hours before the bout to get a feel for it. This is going to cost me hundreds of dollars. Dollars that will never be compensated for in the form of currency. I'm pretty sure, if the traveling team is picked the same way everything else has been, that I'll never be drafted for it. This I find highly discouraging.
I feel unappreciated. At the same time, there of tons of girls doing thankless jobs through out the league so I shouldn't complain. I'm starting to do that thing were I loose grip of the big idea. The whole reason I do anything, if that makes any sense.
In lighter news. My captain and I scored the most points at the last practice.
